Class Schedule and Events

🚐 Texas Mobile STEM Lab — September 1!

We are excited to announce that our class has been selected to participate in the Texas Mobile STEM Laboratory on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, from 11:35 a.m.–12:35 p.m.

Permission slips must be signed and returned for students to participate. Students without a signed permission slip will not be able to take part in the Mobile STEM Lab experience.

Our Engineering Challenge: Stable Figures

Our class will complete the Stable Figures engineering challenge. A stable figure is a structure designed to remain balanced, upright, and secure rather than easily tipping, shifting, or collapsing. Students will think like engineers as they design, build, test, evaluate, and improve a solution.

This experience directly supports our Grade 4 Texas Science TEKS, including:

• Science 4.1B: Use engineering practices to design solutions to problems.

• Science 4.1G: Develop and use models or design a prototype for a solution to a problem.

• Science 4.2D: Evaluate a design or object using criteria.

The Mobile STEM Lab gives students an opportunity to apply these standards through a real, hands-on engineering design challenge rather than simply reading about the engineering process.

We are especially excited because being selected for a Texas Mobile STEM Laboratory visit is an honor and a special opportunity for our school.

Please return your child's signed permission slip as soon as possible so that they can participate!
